ICP Test results

[Herbster]

Hi,

I'm looking to get sample ICP test PDF reports from a number of ICP providers so I can parse their data for a project I'm working on. I'm specifically looking for the following:

ATI
Triton
Aquaforest
Fauna Marin
Nyos
Modern Reef
Tropic Marin
Oceamo
Reef Labs

Any variants would be appreciated (i.e. including RODI water and/or extended parameters) as well.

Please note that this is for testing only, any data will be deleted (imports and actuals PDFs) after have templated the parsing. I won't be looking at the results and analysing your data!!!

If you are able to provide me with any, please send me a dm and I'll provide my email address.

Many thanks!

I'm happy to provide my report publicly if it is a reasonable request (I've already posted it online), but what exactly are you intending to do with it?

It is actually against Reef2Reef rules to "data mine", so to leave this thread open, I would want to know the reason.

from the terms of service:

• Our user base is not a resource to be "mined" by individuals, groups, or businesses, for profit or not for profit this would include shilling. This includes but is not limited to: linking to off-site surveys, linking to crowd funding sites, or requesting donations. These activities are strictly prohibited without prior moderator authorization.

I'm actually not looking to 'mine' the data. In fact I'd be more than happy with xxx in the data column. I'm just trying to develop a way to use the data in more proactive ways (e.g. having the ability to look at trends between previous tests). The reason for wanting sample PDFs is to build templates for particular ICP providers, not wanting to know the actual parameter data itself.

Many of the ICP companies already provide graphs of data over past tests.


Triton, for example:

ICP Water Test for Reef Aquariums — ICP-OES Analysis | TRITON

45 elements at parts-per-billion precision: the TRITON ICP test analyses your reef aquarium water in the lab — including trace elements and heavy metals invisible to home test kits. Results in 24–48 hours.

www.triton-lab.de

See the progression as well as the trends, for each of your elements.

But not if you move to a different ICP provider. To be honest, just delete the thread if it causes an issue. Thanks
